Young wives and husbands cannot be
too strongly reminded of the probable
shipwreck they will make of their hap
piness if they yield to that ill-temper
which expresses itself in discourtesy,
want of compliance, unnecessary oppo-
sition, and, above all, that most dis
astrous amusement of "nagging" and
creating row. Hundreds of house
holds have gone wrong from the mere
want Of checking in time the habit Of
annoying as q relief to momentary
feeling Of irritation or discomfort. The
wife who gets into the way Of contra
dieting, or Checking" her husband, of
opposing him in small things and stand
ing out in larger ones--the husband
who is sneering, tempestuous, tyran-
meal, fault-fnding; perhaps neither
side knowing the whole extent of its
folly, but just giving way to it as more
easy than to fight and conquer it-these
young people are dong their best to
dig the grave of their married peace;
and some day poor. fainting little love
will fall into it stark and plumeless.
and will never rise 10 life again.
In the beginning these little til1s and
discomlorts are made up with kiss

when there is never an open breach
and never formal healing, but an

| The habit of arsenic-eating is becom-
young women of this city, and physi-
clans say that nothing too harsh can be
uttered against this miserable practice.
Arsenic preparations of all kinds are
advertised. and various preparations of
this deadly drug are daily sold for the
alleged purpose of Identifying the
complexion. They who use it are daily
laying the foundation of disease that
will one day destroy some of their
most vital organs. The actual object
to be gained by arsenic eating is that
clear, white, almost transparent skin,
which they so much admire and which
may mean an early death. A we'll.
known physician said to reporter:
"Ihe health department has become
alarmed at the increase in the sale and
use Of thes, noxious complexion prep
arations. Advertisements of arsenic
stare everybody in the face in spite of
attempts to prohibit the sale. Claims
have been made by the venlers that
there is so little arsenic in the prepare
tions that no harm can come IF it, In
opposition to this is the fact hat we'll
papers where the green colo. is given
by Scheel's arsenic compound have
been taboood by the health authorities
on the grounds that even the small
amount of arsenic given off by exhala-
ton had caused death in some cases.
Again, the results obtained by the use
OF arsenic show very plainly the hurt
full nature of it. The exact state of
affairs brought about by arsenic-eating
is diminution of strength Of the
blood; the capillary blood-vessels are
stopped from working; the ends of the
blood-yessels are killed; 10 blood is
supplied to the skin. and tie real rea-
son for the Waite, transparent nature
of the skin is that it is practically dead.
If the result of arsenic-eaing is the
highly Transparent state OF the skin,
and if this can only result from the
Mining VI U1OOu-fCSSolS, Tie claim UlaC
there is no harm done in tie habit be-
comes an absurdity."
Physicians throughout the city are
UP in arms against the use of the drug.
One prominent doctor said: II hope
that something will be done, and done
soon, to stop this abominable traffic.
If the destruction of blood-vessels was
the only thing the arsenic-eater sue
ceeded in doing it would be bad
enough, but that is not all. The
arsenic has bad effect upon the kid
neys, and is likely to bring out a dis
ease which will end only in death. 1t
has also a bad effect on the digestive
organs and soon destroys heir action;
the liver, too is diseased 10y tho poison,
and the nerves become affected to such
an extent that their control becomes
impossible. 1t acts upon the system
in such q way that the victims of the
habit become lost to all sense OF
morality. The practice of arsenic-eat-
ing is q vicious one that ought to be
stopped Immediately before any moro
harm is DONE"

he Irish believe that on the eve OF
st. John the souls OF all persons leave
their bodies and wander to the place,
on land or sea, where death will over
take the body. In England, it was an
article of faith that person who sat
up fasting all night in the church
porch, would see the spirits Of all per-
sons who were to die during the year,
come in their proper order and knock
at the church door, On certain oc-
cason it is told that one of those who
watched fell asleep SO sounaly that he
could not be awakened, while his spirit,

about the year 400, is the first who
mentions the festival of st. John the

LEAD FOR TEN INNINGS.

LEAD FOR TEN INNINGS
Any lover OF base ball who failed to witness
yesterdays contest between Detroit and Wash
ington missed one OF the finest exhibitions Of ball
playing seen this season. The Wolverines had
grown desperate from their series OF defeats In
Philadelphia, and were bound to annihtlate the
Statesmen II possible. Fortunately, 1t was not
possible. The Washington boys had gained
confidence from last weeks admirable work,
and played equally as wen as the visitors.
The consequence was that both teams batted
Tor ten innings without reaching con-
clusfon, and the game was Called tie,
each side having scored two runs. The washing
tons n would have won but for costly error OF
Hines, and they would have been defeated but for
the phenOminal work OF Donnelly at third
and the timely hitting OF Daily Shaw and
Gs.zein were the opposing pitchers and each did
streak, and after making two nice base hits, sent
the ball nearly to the center fence. Hanlon, by a
wonoe1ul running catch, prevented a three-bag-
ger: Myers Hines. and Daily were the only wash
ingtons who could hit Getzein, while Brouthers,
Banlon, and Twitchell were the only visitors who
could touch Shaw's curves. The same clubs play
again to-day. Whitney is expected to pitch for
the Mashingtons and when he steps into the box
he viii be presented with a handsome moonstone
ring, with carved Grecian head The gift is from
